FIIs Return to India: $2.44 Billion Investment in February, Largest in 17 Months
•Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) made a net investment of approximately $2.44 billion in the Indian stock market in February, marking the largest monthly inflow in 17 months.
•This investment included $2.14 billion in the secondary market and $299 million in the primary market, signaling a potential shift after continuous selling.
•Market experts view this as a "pause" or interruption in the selling trend rather than a complete reversal, as the buying is small compared to recent heavy selling.
•Previously, FIIs sold approximately $46 billion between 2024-2025, shifting funds to markets like China, Taiwan, and South Korea due to better returns and lower valuations.
•Future FII buying depends on improved earnings, macro stability, and attractive valuations, with experts suggesting India's underperformance now makes it appealing.
